🔑 Key Insight
"The food that we eat is the seed of our mind. It creates all the neurotransmitters, all the energy. It creates everything that's in our body and in our brain. And... I see it like, if you have a heart attack, you don't want to go back to eating fried chicken and processed foods. You just don't want to take the risk.”
